Maplewood Court

What Maplewood Court's governing documents say

This is the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Maplewood Court, a planned community of single-family residential homes in Chandler, Arizona. It binds all owners and residents, creating a homeowners association (the Maplewood Court Community Association) to maintain common areas, levy assessments, and enforce the rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and single-family home, and are responsible for landscaping, exterior maintenance, and repairs. The association owns and maintains all common areas, including landscaping on common property and certain public right-of-way areas.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change visible from neighboring property—including construction, landscaping, paint, antennas, solar panels, or fences—requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has wide discretion and will disapprove anything not in harmony with the community or aesthetically acceptable. Failure to respond within 45 days is treated as disapproval.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire lot (not just part) for a minimum of three consecutive months. Owners must provide the board a copy of the signed lease and a tenant information form within 15 days. Tenants are limited to no more than five unrelated persons or a single family of any size, and must sign a crime-free lease addendum. The owner is responsible for tenant violations.
• Parking & vehicles: Only private passenger vehicles, SUVs, or pickup trucks under specified size limits may park in garages or driveways. RVs, boats, trailers, campers, commercial vehicles, and vehicles over one ton are prohibited unless stored in a fully enclosed garage. Vehicles in disrepair and street parking beyond 24 hours are not allowed. The association may tow violators at the owner's expense.
• Pets: Reasonable numbers of domestic pets (house or yard pets only) are allowed, but no commercial breeding, unreasonable noise, or nuisance. Structures for pets must not be visible from neighboring property. The Architectural Committee decides what qualifies as a pet and whether the number is reasonable.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay annual assessments set by the board to fund common expenses (maintenance, insurance, utilities, services). Late payments incur a late charge of $15/month or 10%, plus interest, costs, and attorney's fees. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property, superior to most other liens except property taxes and first mortgages.
• Use restrictions: All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. Home-based businesses are allowed only if invisible from outside, meet zoning, and do not generate customer traffic. No temporary residences, noxious activities, or anything that interferes with quiet enjoyment. Garages must be used for parking and storage, not living space. Outside clotheslines, trash containers visible from neighbors, and basketball goals are regulated.
• Signs: No visible signs are allowed except: two small residence identification signs (72 square inches or less each), required legal signs, temporary 'For Sale' signs, and builder/promotional signs approved by the Architectural Committee.
